management talks w/ jem young, eng leader @ netflix
guest: jem young, engineering manager at netflix
- believe in the power of the individual and invest in empowering people to grow
- hire and look for curiosity, since curious people proactively find and solve problems instead of just closing tickets
- make it safe to fail on your team, since failures teach more than successes ever do
- culture beats execution, but execution beats vision, so build trust and then get things done
- as a manager your job is to repeat the goal and priorities over and over until it feels boring
